AVG Demonstrates Privacy Glasses To Face

Early this month unveiled the Czech anti-virus company AVG privacy glasses designed to prevent face and now the virus fighter has a demonstration online put. The glasses are developed because it more and more places appear cameras and face recognition develops.

It involves, for example pictures made in public places and shared via social media. Someone might thus inadvertently on websites like Facebook may end up and be "tagged". In order to prevent this, the eyeglasses of a reflective material is provided. If someone has a picture with a flash makes the light is reflected and dazzles the camera, making the face of the wearer is not visible.

In the event no flash is used has the glasses on infrared light. That disturbs the sensor of the camera. "If you're worried about your privacy and want to be invisible, then you can ever buy this privacy glasses in the future," said Tony Anscombe AVG.Whether the virus fighter plans to bring the glasses on the market is not yet known.

AVG Develops Privacy Glasses To Face

Since appearing in more and more places cameras and face increasingly develops it can be useful for people to take action here. Therefore, the Czech anti-virus company AVG has developed a real privacy glasses trying to prevent facial recognition.

The virus fighter points to the use of smart phones in public places, so the chance that pictures of someone ending up online.Photos that soon by Internet like Google and Facebook can be identified. The privacy glasses which was demonstrated at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona used two ways to counter face. The first is the use of infrared light, allowing cameras faces could no longer recognize.

The second method is the use of "retro-reflective" materials. These materials reflect the major part of the light back to the sensor, which is a problem for the digital camera can be. A disadvantage of this approach is that it only works when photos are taken with a flash. When the privacy glasses really appears on the market is unknown. For now there is only a prototype of the glasses available.
